If you suspect your timing belt has broken or the teeth have been stripped off of it, the only way to know for sure is to take off you timing belt cover and have a look. Some vehicles had / have interference heads. These vehicles will destroy their own valves if you try to crank them without a timing belt on.
That engine don't have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears and it would crank over real easy/freely.
The timing belt goes and the valves bend.
If you think it is going bad STOP DRIVING and get it changed immediately. If the timing belt/chain goes while you are motoring it will ruin the engine.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears.If timing chain goes out then the engine will not run.
It does not have a timing belt it has a chain
i need to instal the timing belt on a kia rio 2003 how the mark goes
You don't, it's either broken or not there is no in between. Unless you are very lucky and the belt will slip one tooth without braking. You will notice that because the engine timing will change.
the timing belt is not the same as the serpentine belt.the serpentine belt goes around your water pump pulley and the power steering pump,air condition compressor pulley and the alternator pulley.the timing belt goes around the camshaft and the crankshaft.it is not visable without taking the timing belt cover off.
I know of no vehicle where the engine has to be removed to change a timing belt.
If I recall correctly. When a timing belt goes bad it just go...
Replacing the timing belt isn't that hard of a job. You will have to jack up your car, and take off the driver side tire. This should expose the three belts. The timing belt should be th inner most belt. To make sure you know which belt is the timing belt, follow it and see where it goes. The belt that goes to your cam shaft(located on top of the engine covered by a black cover.) There should be a wheel that the belt goes onto. When the cams rotate, the rotate the wheel, which rotates the timing belt, which rotates the other two belts, keeping everything in time. The bottom wheel should have a bolt on it in the middle of the wheel. If you loosen that bolt, the wheel will be able to move, thus allowing you to tighten or loosen the belt(once it is on the wheel.) So you will have to take off the other belts, and then loosen the bolt on the lower wheel (the wheel that the timing belt goes around) and then remove and replace the belt. This is all from my memory, but if you just get in there you could easily do this job.
The 1997 Buick Park Avenue does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain.
